Abstract: First it was Spelunker HD, then Spelunky and now Boulder Dash-XL. It's as if somebody decided that retro-style cave exploration was the happening thing and didn't tell the rest of us. Not that I'm complaining, because it turns out that this reimagine...
And, unlike something like, say, Ms Splosion Man, the difficulty level isn't so great as to put off the more casual observer, even though you may well die quite a bit on the harder levels. It just lacks that bit of variety and any sort of multiplayer that...
Abstract: This downloadable update to an Atari classic is a fun, frantic action-puzzler that's well worth a look.Game name: Boulder Dash-XL Price: 800MS Points ($10) Platform: XBLA What is it? A reboot of a long-running action/puzzle series originally released ...

Abstract: Boulder Dash-XL is a remake of a game that first released in 1984 for the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. A lot of things have changed since 1984. Our game consoles are now able to produce visuals we couldn't even imagine back then. Our game designers ha...
Boulder Dash offers a ton of content. With five different game modes and more than 150 different caves to explore, gamers will always find a way to keep themselves busy. While not a full-blown current generation reboot, Boulder Dash-XL is an enjoyable ...
